Subject: One birder tackles the technology- Twitchathon
onTwitter
Inspired by the discussion on how technology can be used by birders, I
have decided to attempt to put the attempt of our twitchathon team (The
Bush
Turkeys) to win this year's Victorian race on Twitter. Being a rather
late adapter of new technology (I still don't trust them fancy, new
fangled smoke
signals!) this could be a bit of a disaster, particularly as for much of
the race I thin kwe will be out of range for me to send any tweets.
But if anyone wants to follow us, check out
http://twitter.com/Twitchathon for hopefully live updates on how we are
going. Members of the Bush Turkeys have been involved in the Thon from
the very first Twitchathon and the team has existed since 1989 and have
competed as a team ten times previously managing to win four times. We
haven't raced since 2006 and as none of us have had a chance to suss out
what we used to think was our unbeatable route, we will have a tough job
trying to beat the young guns (well maybe not so young) who have won the
last two events. But it is a fantastic spring for birds in Victoria this
year with masses of birds moving in such as Crimson Chats, Budgies,
trillers, Balck Honeyeaters etc, so this could be one where the Vic
record could fall. (224 species)
If anyone would like to sponsor the Bush Turkeys contact me on this
email address or on Twitter where apparently you put @Twitchathon before
your message. All funds raised this year go to BA VicGroups bird study
grants, providing vital funds for research into our local birds.
Good luck to the other teams, I hope you have a safe and bird-filled
race.
